http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Charger-6S-5A

With that charger, is there any way i could charge 2 of the same 2s 5000mah together?

Cahrger is limited to 5amps max charge rate. Si if you tried chargung them wired together in parallel, you would only be able to charge at 0.5C (in parallel, the 2 5000mah lipos together would be equiv to a 10,000mah 2S). - it would takje at least 2x as long so there's no time advantage to doing it that way.

Wired in series, they would be a 4S 5000mah equiv lipo - that you could charge at 1C, but then the charger output power comes into play. If this has 100watts like the 4064 Passport Ultra, then it would not have a prob with a 1C charge. If this is 80watts, then its right on the edge of the chargers capability since a 4S takes 84watts. You would experience a littel current limiting, but nothing significant. Inn case this is as low as 50watt, you would see current limited to ~3amps. I haven't seen the charger's output power quoted anywhere.

You'd still need a proper series balance harness as well as a series connector for the main power wires. If the charger has sufficient output power, wiring in series is possible given the necessary wiring.
